Chapter 1221: Marin Is Dead?
After the four major legions were arranged, Marin began to officially arrange the disguise of suspended animation.
In fact, rumors are now circulating in Europe that Marin was shipwrecked. However, there is no conclusive evidence for that, so no one believes it.
Therefore, if you want to create the illusion that Marin was shipwrecked and hung up, you need to have evidence. As it happens, Marin has evidence......
What is the proof? It's the ships of Marin's fleet when he goes out to sea openly!
Previously, although Marin went to Daming on the 10 500-ton warships, when he set off openly, Marin took 10 250-class armed merchant ships to sea. And the leader of the team was Columbus Jr. In addition, Marin made a special visit to Lisbon and signed a treaty with Manuel I on the division of territory in the Far East.
After passing through the Canary Islands, Marin turned west on two ships and headed west to Panama. The other 8 ships, led by Columbus Jr., continued to take the African coastal route.
Moreover, this time Marin returned from Panama, and the four 250-class armed merchant ships included the two ships that sent him to Panama. Now those two ships are secretly docked in Wilhelmshaven off the coast of the province of Oldenburg.
So, Marin wants to play dead, let those two ships go home, and then pretend that the other ships are sunk......
In addition, Marin would send a ship to the Canary Islands to intercept the returning fleet of Columbus the Younger. After all, if that fleet comes back, it's a goof. At the very least, it wasn't until the show was over that little Columbus's fleet would be fit to return. The port of Las Palmas in the Canary Islands is an important supply station for returning fleets. Therefore, sending a ship can stop little Columbus and make him delay his return home.
……
After all the arrangements were made, the two armed merchant ships of the class 250, the "Dengbo" and the "Las Vegas", which were responsible for sending Marin to Panama and returning Marin, publicly returned to the port of Emden with the news that shocked the North Sea Nation - the other eight ships, including the ship carrying Marin and Columbus Jr., had disappeared in a storm on the way back......
This news was so shocking that many people were stunned when they heard it......
Most people know about the Port Emden of the USS Denburg and the USS Las Vegas. Because, two years ago, Marin went to sea openly with 10 ships, including these two ships, to the Far East.
However, now the two ships have returned alone on their own, and Marin has not returned...... That's a big deal......
……
Although the captains of the two ships said that the other eight ships were missing in the storm and might return, in this day and age, there are too few ships that can come back in the face of the storm.
After all, there were no maritime search and rescue aircraft in this era. If a ship encounters a storm, it is basically sunk. Because, in this era, European ships did not have a watertight compartment design, and the probability of shipwreck in a storm was very high. As long as it leaks, it's basically over.
Therefore, in naval battles, as long as the iron ball cannonball can smash the side of the opponent's ship, the enemy ship will basically sink. On the other hand, the Chinese ships have a watertight compartment design, and even if they are hit, they are difficult to sink. But there are fireship tactics in the East, which can solve the problem of enemy ships being difficult to sink. As long as it's a wooden boat, the trick will be over......
As for the problem of someone drifting to a desert island to survive after a shipwreck, this is also unrealistic. Because, even if someone survives and lives on a desert island, no one will save them. Because, at present, there are very few ships taking the Far East route, and it is absolutely wishful thinking to expect a passing ship to rescue them.
Therefore, no one thought that Marin and the others had a chance to come back alive......
Of course, the problem of Marin's fleet deviating from course is not ruled out. So, everyone plans to wait a month to see how it goes. Because, if you deviate from the course, you should basically come back after a delay of a month. And if you don't come back after a month, you basically can't come back......
……
When the news reached the city of Aurich, Schwarz, Kohler and Sauer all put on expressions of disbelief and came to the palace to persuade Angela.
And Angela, after hearing the news, must also make a show, such as ...... Cry a lot......
But Angela's crying scene couldn't pass the test, so she had to use the prop onion......
Then, Angela, who learned that her "husband was missing", "cried" with the help of onions......
After that, Angela began to officially use Liu Tianxian's face and face, with a look of "don't get close to the living", which made people mistakenly think that she was desperate......
But while putting on a paralyzed face, Angela repeatedly emphasized that her husband is still alive and will definitely come back, and no one is allowed to curse her husband......
However, her statement was interpreted by outsiders as "Mrs. Angela is deceiving herself and refusing to accept reality......
But how do outsiders know that Angela is telling the truth, she now meets her husband every night through secret passages......
……
Subsequently, the news began to spread throughout the Beihai country and even abroad......
After learning that his eldest son might be shipwrecked, Columbus, an old pervert who had been patronizing Mao Mei in Las Vegas, also hurried to Aurich to verify the truth of the matter.
For the sake of secrecy, Angela naturally couldn't tell Columbus the truth. This makes Brother 14
